No one knows if such an accident-free future is even possible, or whether autonomous vehicles will prove as flexible and responsive as humans in the most dangerous and unpredictable scenarios. Either way, hiding minor accident reports from the public suggests a rocky road ahead for self-driving cars.

The only thing missing is to accuse self driving cars and everyone who works on them of being misogynists. I’m sure that will happen either because the media will be called on the carpet for their fear mongering about self driving cars or some other reason that I can’t predict. This is bound to be the next #GamerGate (or one of the next #GamerGates) because we’re dealing with the same people who are worried that #GamerGate is going to take over Mars.

The idea that humans are more “flexible and responsive” is laughable nonsense. The number one thing most people do when they encounter a problem while driving is panic and freeze up, which is why so much Driver’s Ed focuses on avoiding this.

Meanwhile, self-driving cars will never:
-Fall asleep
-Text people
-Stare at facebook
-Get distracted by the radio
-Put on makeup
-Play phone/handheld games
-Read a book
-Road rage
-Eat fast food
-Get into an accident while trying to swat a fly or a bee
-etc. etc.
